My Squad Members thought I was nuts for carrying a propane torch In My Alice Pack. You can smell a bunch of trioxane heat tabs 100 yards away. Light that scentless squirrel fart gas torch on low after being cold and wet for a while under a poncho and experience a Marine Corps Sauna you will never forget! Many Other Uses! Keeping Lifeboat matches in The handle Of my Buckmaster For almost forty years that haven't exploded yet, and every grunt worth his salt has a scentless candle or two, But I met a few had soap on a rope! LOL, OOH RAH, Outstanding Bushcraft Corporal! You Rock!

Why don't more of you hit the like thumbs up? It him out and makes it possible to for him to make his videos. I've leaned a lot over the years. And I thought I was pretty good.

My grandfather showed me this when I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me of that memory Corporal.

I miss the REAL “strike anywhere” matches I grew up with sixty years ago.

The mirror of your knife was so satisfying.

A pocket survival kit:
-3 tea candles
-30 feet of masons twine or other strong, small diameter, synthetic cordage.
-Bic lighter (you should have 2 or 3 more in your other pockets, if not, put 2 in the kit)
-Strips of rubber (bicycle innertubes cut up) for wet weather fire starting
-small bottle of iodine water treatment tabs
-12 aspirin and 12 ibuprofen
-heavy duty large contractor trash bag rolled up tight with several rubber bands around it
-RAT style tourniquet
-small amount of high energy sweet food, even just sugar cubes or some small candies, or dried fruit and nuts. Enough to pick you up if you 'bonk'.
-1 qt or liter waterbag rolled up tight.
-small knife...the small Mora knives are ideal for this... something with a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch blade and is very light weight.
-small (high quality) LED flashlight (olight, streamlight, etc)
-small, lightweight Suunto or other brand name, good quality compass.
-i like to add a small, lightweight polypropylene beanie stocking cap rolled up tight as well.
-also carry a few doses of any critical meds that you take.
-asthma inhalers if you use them
-2 or 3 antiseptic wet wipes
-wrap the bic lighters with several feet of good quality duct tape (gorilla tape)

Double ziplock bag this kit and put it in the cargo pocket on your shorts or pants or in a jacket pocket, you might need to split it into 2 bags for 2 pockets, but it should be on you all the time (not in a backpack) if you are taking an extended hike or stalking an animal, etc...
Everything there is straight forward in what it can be used for.

Anyhow, this is something i carry and i am someone that has been hunting, hiking, mountain climbing, backcountry skiing, fishing, backpacking, and involved in search and rescues, etc in the rockies very vigorously for about 40 years. This little kit can save your life. Every year out here, dozens of people get lost, including very experienced people like me and they die from exposure to the elements or from medical issues, etc...this kit would save 99% of them.

The "sandpaper" on the matchbox is not just plain sandpaper. It contains red phosphorous. When the match is struck, a small amount of the red phosphorus on the striking surface is converted into white phosphorus, which then ignites. The heat from this ignites the match head which is usually made up of an oxidizer; most commonly potassium chlorate. Strike anywhere have a different type of phosphorous as well as potassium chlorate in the tip, that ignite with friction.

For matchbooks, its easier to peel the cardboard from the side while they are still attached to the book, and you save the other half of the match that is still attached

Years ago, snowshoeing in -30C. Wanted to start a fire to warm up. I was in the bush, but there was a bit of wind. The Bic lighter could not do it. A wooden match did. It has a larger flame and you can stick it further in the tinder. I carry a lighter and also some matches in a plastic bag always.

Back in the day, our little band of grade school delinquents would split matches (verboten) and use them to light large-caliber firecrackers (really verboten). "Ohio Blue Tip" strike-anywhere matches worked well on zippers, too.

[motherofheelers]

For matchbooks, I fold the flap back over, place the match in between the strike strip and the flap, apply a little pressure, and then pull the match out. Works great!

[markcarroll]

And never ceases to amaze me just how much knowledge we have lost.

[going_dark]

Fun fact much easier way to strike a paper match. Pick a match take the fold over top of the match book backwards covering the matchbook strike strip pinch the match head between the striker n top pinch the top to the striker pull match lights first time Everytime

[buckguy]

I got a box of the really long fireplace matches on clearance thinking I could break them down and put in a pill bottle and use the extra wood for kindling

[vonripper]

Ok found a deal on your Hardcore Hammer Camp Axe:)....Got to admit it's better then the council tool hammer head is sickwhitted:) the handle is thick, fits a manly hand!!!!

[Elkhunter]

I've done this with paper matches back in the day. Never thought of the wood. Good advice thanks

[mgbrown]

I remember paper matches before the striker was on the front. "Close cover before striking" was supposed to be the most often read words.

[smokinggar]

Strike anywhere we light them on your zipper. And as for paper you can pinch between the strip and the cover
